External Collection Agencies 
Bf a customer does not pay his receivables, and all measures have been 
taken to collect the receivables, many utility companies use collection 
agencies to prevent losing the receivable. 
The SAP system allows the utility to manage accounts submitted to a 
collection agency and the exchange of information with those collection 
agencies. 
FI-CA allows items to be handed over to an external collection agency if 
dunning is unsuccessful, and supports subsequent processes. This 
involves the following functions: 
Release items for delivery to a collection agency. Automatic release can 
take place from dunning or charge-off processes. You can also release 
items manually. 
Determine additional items to be handed over (for example, hand over all 
items for a contract, contract account, or business partner)
